D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) has announced a record-breaking first quarter for fiscal 2025, with revenues soaring to $15 million, marking a 509% increase compared to the same period last year. This growth is largely attributed to the sale of a high-margin annealing quantum computing system, underscoring the company's strategic emphasis on high-value solutions. The financial achievements were discussed in a conference call led by CEO Dr. Alan Baratz and CFO John Markovich on May 8, revealing a gross profit of $13.9 million for the quarter.
The company's expanding influence in the quantum computing sector is further evidenced by its growing customer base, now totaling 133, including 69 commercial users. Notably, 25 of these customers are from the Forbes Global 2000, signaling increasing enterprise engagement with quantum computing technologies. D-Wave's ability to tackle complex computational challenges is drawing attention from major players across industries.
With a cash position of $304.3 million at the quarter's end, D-Wave has achieved its highest quarter-end balance in history. This financial strength positions the company to further innovate in quantum computing systems, software, and services. As the first commercial supplier of quantum computers, D-Wave continues to lead with its Advantage quantum computers, offering over 5,000 qubits available on-premises or via cloud infrastructure, backed by a 99.9% availability and uptime guarantee.
The quantum computing industry is gaining momentum as organizations explore its potential to solve intricate problems in optimization, artificial intelligence, and advanced research.
